Raphael & Melinda’s Holy Family Catholic Church Wedding

Raphael & Melinda’s intimate wedding at Holy Family Catholic Church.

It was an excessively windy day (reminded me of my time in Lubbock) in December when Raphael and Melinda married. The temperature dipped as the clouds settled into an overcast day.

Lucky, the reception was just a short walking distance from the ceremony. Friends and family gathered early to help with decorations and food.

Melinda was resplendent in her wedding gown. She donned her something blue, borrowed, old and new. She realized, after getting her jewelry and hair clips into place that the look was missing something, earrings. She was about to borrow some earrings from her mom when Raphael gifted her a set of stunning diamond studs.

The couple had a beautiful ceremony in their family church full of tears, laughter and beaming smiles. As if blessed on their wedding day, the clouds parted for a short while and the sun shown brilliantly onto the couple and their wedding party during photos.

As the day progressed into evening, the couple sang, danced and laughed with their friends and family. The evening ended with a grand bubble exit right into the waiting arms of a limo to sweep the couple into their long, happy life together as husband and wife.

Congratulations Raphael & Melinda!

Chris & Adrienne’s Bell Tower on 34th Wedding Photography

It was a pleasant evening in November for an evening wedding at the Bell Tower on 34th. The temperature had recently dropped to a tolerable number. The sky was clear and you could see all the stars, or at least all the stars the light pollution from downtown allowed.

Adrienne was resplendent in her old Hollywood satin gown. She descended the long staircase to her two boys who escorted her down the aisle. The alter shone with warm toned purple hues as the couple light a unity candle and then said “I do.”

After the wedding, the happy couple descended one more set of stairs into their reception. Guests danced and laughed all night. Part way through the reception, the couple held a dollar dance where their guests pinned money to them before waltzing into the night.

I wanted to spend one whole paragraph talking about the groom’s cake… The wedding cake was gorgeous, but it didn’t’ hold a candle (for the nerd in me) to the grooms cake, which was a Millennium Falcon with a “just married” sign. Heart!

At the end of the night, the couple exited the reception to a night filled with bubbles. They said their goodbyes as they climbed into the white rolls limo that escorted them into their first night as husband and wife.

Congratulations Chris & Adrienne!!

Joshua & Katelyn’s Orchard at Caney Creek Wedding

Joshua & Katelyn’s Orchard at Caney Creek Wedding Photography

Less than a week after hurricane Nicholas blew through, Joshua & Katelyn tied the know at the Orchard at Caney Creek in Wharton, TX.

It was a beautiful day and the temperature, though still hot, was bearable. The wedding party got ready in separate locations on the property. The woman at the Orchard House while the men hung out at the Lodge and played pool.

Joshua & the wedding party walked down the isle to the Imperial March. Everyone had a good laugh as the Flower-Man, Katelyn’s brother, threw flower petals from his white fanny-pack and handed out cold beers to wedding guests. Katelyn walked down the isle with her grandfather to I See the Light, from Tangled. It was fitting because Katelyn embodied Rapunzel with flowers in her braid.

The wedding was a family affair. Katelyn & Amanda one of her bridesmaids made the floral arrangements and the bouquets. Katelyn’s grandma made the cake and cookies. Everyone had a hand in pumping up the party for this joyous event.

At the end of the night, Joshua & Katelyn shared a private last dance in the gazebo on the lake. It was one of the most romantic last dances I’ve seen.

Wedding Photography at the Springs Angleton, Texas

Early fall (still summer-hot) wedding photography at The Springs Wedding Venue in Angleton.

Around the end of August, I headed out to Angleton to take photos at the stunning Springs wedding venue there. As a wedding photographer, I love getting the chance to visit interesting and completely unique venues. My mind is always whirring with the photography possibilities.

I loved how the wedding colors seemed to complement not only the bride and bridesmaids, but also the venue. There’s something so special about a delicate blue pallet for your wedding.

Check out my wedding photography from the Springs Angleton venue.

Joseph & Jordan’s Art Industrial Houston Wedding

It was a surprisingly pleasant summer evening in Downtown Houston when Joseph & Jordan said their vows. The intimate industrial venue was located between one of the U of H campuses and the Saint Arnold Brewery just north of Downtown Houston.

The venue was decorated in greenery and succulents, my favorite part. The wooden alter was made by Jordan’s father. After their wedding, the couple will turn it into an entertainment center. I thought this was a really smart and creative way to reuse wood (which is SO EXPENSIVE right now) and to keep a part of their wedding with them always.

The wedding was a small, friends and family affair. A friend got ordained to marry them. Friends helped serve food, drinks and cut and serve the cake.

What a beautiful wedding. I’m so thankful to have been able to capture it. Congratulations to the happy couple!
